EDGE Analysis

As per usual, Butler produced a good chunk of his offense at the free-throw line and was efficient from the field while generally eschewing three-point attempts. For fantasy managers that are punting three-pointers and blocks, Butler has produced at a top-five level on a per-game basis this season. His overall value is similarly high, as Butler has proven more durable than anticipated this season, especially since the beginning of December. He's appeared in 39 of the Heat's past 45 contests.
